My new wheelchair arrived today. A reconditioned mirage. Currently nicknamed 'Baby' til a more suitable name presents itself. More milage to the charge. Faster. Tighter turning circle. But not well designed for putting bags on back or accessing those you can. Still miss Henrietta. But Baby and I had a trial run on train to Reading on we seen to be okay :)

Great news. I read somewhere that naming inanimate objects is a sign of intelligence but they didn't say if some names were better than others!

How about Bill -as in it fits the bill?Or Mary after Mary Poppins who takes the children to places they have never been?Baby makes me think of Dirty Dancing and you don't want to be put in a corner so Frances?Somehow I seem to be stuck in films and getting a bit convoluted, but I am sure you will have better ideas.

I was waiting for her personality to emerge and she now has a name, Wren, but I'm still calling her Baby for now, mostly. She'll grow up into her name, I'm sure.

I hadn't thought of the Dirty Dancing thing, I've not seen it and nor do I really want to. Growing up among a large South Asian population, and being married into a Pakistani family for over nine years, Baby to me means the youngest girl, the spoilt one, the one who gets away with everything, the little prima donna muhajababe :)
